Bates Motel 3.6 “Norma Louise” review coming up in a few moments. First – let’s recap last week’s episode.

Last week’s 3.5 “The Deal” found Norma (Vera Farmiga) trying to play with the big boys. After Dylan’s friend cracked the secret of the USB, she dragged Romero (Nestor Carbonell) with her to blackmail Bob Paris (Kevin Rahm). He seemed amenable to her demands. I don’t believe his sincerity though. Norman (Freddie Highmore) told Dylan (Max Thieriot) that he revealed Caleb (Kenny Johnson) was staying at the farm, only… he never did. Dylan confessed to Norma with Norman offering moral support. Needless to say she did not take it well.

Before we get to the Bates Motel episode 5 review, let’s recap last week’s episode. Beware of spoilers!

“You betrayed mother. She needs to know,” Norman (Freddie Highmore) tells Dylan (Max Thieriot) after finding Caleb (Kenny Johnson) at his farm. Dylan had just finished patching Caleb up after a nasty fall and tearful confession filled with regret, when Norman showed up. Norma (Vera Farmiga) and the whole crew is in danger from the big players in town after Annika shows up, hands Norma a flash drive, and dies. Romero now has to investigate two dead girls who are connected to the Arcanum Club and that “missing” USB drive.

Be careful – there are spoilers if you are not up to date on Bates Motel.

Last week on Bates Motel 3.3 “Persuasion”, Norman (Freddie Highmore) is freaking out because he really can’t remember much about what happened the night Annika disappeared. Norma (Vera Farmiga) had confided her fears to Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell), who questioned Norman. Norma — ever the flip-flopper — couldn’t decide if Romero was her confidant or betrayer, and her mood swings attested to that.

We are up to episode 3 of Season 3 of Bates Motel, and it certainly took off running. We have had hallucinations, a rich social orgy club, a missing girl, Ryan Hurst, Uncle Dad bonding, first dates, and the Vera Farmiga one-woman show. Ok, so… that’s an exaggeration because this jewel has some very talented setting.

There are some spoilers, so tread carefully.

Bates Motel returns to A&E with an all new installment tonight, Episode 3.3 “Persuasion,” and the network has release a preview video and the first images from the upcoming episode.
